Nuance-Watson (HK) has presented Tissot’s new T-Lord Automatic Series watch exclusively at The Atrium and The Plaza department stores at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA).
In launching the new range from late October, the travel retailer is offering airport travellers the privilege of ownership some three months ahead of domestic retailers who will not offer the items until January 2012.

“The exclusive pre-launch not only further strengthens NWHK’s strong partnership with the Swatch Group, but also underlines its reputation for constantly heightening the excitement and uniqueness of HKIA’s entire watch category,” the company said.
“The remarkable growth our watch business has shown in recent years has greatly reinforced our leading position at HKIA,” said NWHK General Manager of General Merchandise, Boutiques & Speciality Stores Clarice Au. “This in turn has further motivated us to do even better as we move forward.”
Au continued: “I and my NWHK colleagues offer our sincere thanks to the Swatch Group for their long-term support and confidence in us. Customers at our stores are highly brand-conscious and see watches as a sophisticated expression of their individual style. In essence, they constantly seek the gratification of exclusivity and the added-value that comes from top quality and excellent craftsmanship.
“Ultimately, we are very enthusiastic about the foreseeable success of our exclusive launch of the Tissot T-Lord Automatic Series for men. We see this watch collection as a perfect accessory which will prove irresistible for those regularly wearing business attire.”
The Tissot T-Lord Automatic Series features chronographs, models with bold second counters, as well as interpretations with elegant analogue dials.
Each timepiece comes in a choice of stainless steel or crocodile-print leather straps. The rear of all cases offers a view of the movement inside through a cut-out.
Added Au: “In the years ahead, we shall continue to strive to provide a showcase for brands wishing to promote new product launches to both our international and local airport travellers. At the same time, we shall do everything possible to further contribute to enhancing of HKIA’s reputation for spearheading exclusivity and excellence in airport travel retailing.”
